Luke 6:7

Read in context

Luke 6:5–9 · Berean Standard Bible

5 Then Jesus declared, “The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”

6 On another Sabbath Jesus entered the synagogue and was teaching, and a man was there whose right hand was withered.

7 Looking for a reason to accuse Jesus, the scribes and Pharisees were watching Him closely to see if He would heal on the Sabbath.

8 But Jesus knew their thoughts and said to the man with the withered hand, “Get up and stand among us.” So he got up and stood there.

9 Then Jesus said to them, “I ask you, which is lawful on the Sabbath: to do good or to do evil, to save life or to destroy it?”
